Applegarth Afghan
Lion Brand® Jiffy®
GAUGE:
10 stitches + 8 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in half double crochet. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Applegarth Afghan Reviewed by Heather Buckholtz on 2010-02-03
As another reviewer said, this pattern takes dedication. It's extremely simple and I would say ideal for a beginner. The afghan is indeed very beautiful, though I did add a simple dc-sp-dc border. But somehow it sucks you into something of a time warp, perhaps it's making so many squares or that you use a smaller stitch.
Either way it wasn't instant gratification, it took me almost a week and normally I can finish an afghan in a little over 2 days.
Any beginners looking at the pattern I highly recommend it, it will be good practice both for stitching pieces together and making your stitches even.
As an intermediate level, I will not make the pattern again, simply for the fact that I don't have the time.
